Viral Edinburgh Tiktok clip shows partygoers leaving huge city rave 30 years ago

An Edinburgh video has gone viral showing young partygoers leaving an all-day rave in the capital 30 years ago.

Known to have hosted a number of large scale music events over the years, almost three decades ago to the day thousands headed to Ingliston for the legendary Rezerection rave.

Held at the huge event space near Edinburgh Airport, the dance music Rezerection festival was the first of three to be held in Scotland in the 1990s, with over 5,000 buying tickets.

Posted to TikTok, the clip quickly took in over 40,000 views as users watched hundreds of young 90s partygoers make their way home after the event.

After being inside the darkened room for hours, many could be seen hitting daylight for the first time as they tried to make their way home from the outskirts of Edinburgh.

Flocking out in some incredible and iconic 1990s fashion, many were sporting unique hats and bandanas, while others quickly popped on some sunglasses to adjust to the light.

After a serious session inside, some were seen in a better state than others, with a few clearly having enjoyed themselves a bit too much inside.

At the time, Rezerection, which had started out as a club night in the north east of England in 1990, hosted the biggest rave events in the UK and people came from far and wide to attend them.

Dubbed 'The Castle', the May '92 Rezerection at Ingliston near Edinburgh Airport was one of the most ambitious yet, with elaborate stage scenery, featuring a mock medieval portcullis, and an improved light show with heavy strobe effects and lasers to complement the beats.

In recent years, footage has also emerged from inside the legendary rave, with a host of DJs wowing crowds with their dance beats and impressive light displays.
